In those days you were listening to Gerry Ryan on the Nighttrain and Jim O'Neill and Mark Cagney too.

Dave and his slippers have moved into a more comfy slot on radio 1 where it's less about the music and more about the feelings. He will be wheeled out of the place.

God, that was annoying. I don't like cursing for cursing's sake. I bet he only accepted the gig on the condition that they wouldn't bleep him. Don't they normally? Who on earth is he anyway?

Now that Boris is the mayor, does that mean he won't be presenting HIGNFY anymore?

He's a big, loud, Shakespearean actor. I was laughing at the spectacle of it. Great stuff altogether.

At least till 2012, 905.

You not think he'll keep it up for the odd guest appearance? He was doing it when he was an MP so why not London Mayor. It would fit in with his general appearance which is to come across as populist and jovial. I wouldn't be surprised if he kept it up from time to time.

Well, I hope so. Boris Johnson is a great chairman of HIGNFY. He might do some of them coming up to the next election as part of a publicity campaign.
